The city's sign ordinance includes a date by which billboards or advertising signs are to be removed.
However, the city has never initiated proceedings to enforce this partiar of the ordinance. City Attorney
Roger Knutsar informed the co~mcil of the challenges facing a city in implementing this type of ordinance.
He said that there is little precedent for determining the life of a use like a sign and that any sign company
challenged with removal would likely go to litigation.
Discussion ar the Central Ramsey Water Management Or¢anizatiar
The council discussed the possibility that a petition would be filed to make the Central Ramsey Watershed
into a watershed district rather than being governed through the water management organizatiar which is
run by a joint powers agreement. Discussiar centered around the role that the city would have in making
this decision, the reasons that the issue was moving forward, the additiaral layer of governmcet represented
by a watershed district and the di$'erent ways to manage water quality issues.
